Whether you intended it or not, this strikes me as very gray and very parlimentarian - very governmental. What I mean is it seems very appropriate!

I like the crop you used, and the side/front point of view. Really nice processing all around!

Nice composition and lighting. The people appear a little out of focus

Nice architectural image. It seems cold and stark, which I am guessing Finland is this time of year.

I could blame it on Finland. Very taken with the triangular expanse of light at lower left being ever so casually balanced by the dark shrubbery and tiniest detail of building and solitary person at the not quite lower right, almost on the extension of first triangle. And then there is the triangle, not quite complete, made by all the trees. Play of black and white and the most subtle greys .... With such a strong and interesting composition all the elements combine. Wouldn't change a thing. I need to hear some Sibelius now.

My fave part is the dark trees reaching up into the gradient sky. Very cool looking.

The sky vs. the ground really makes this photo. Like nikolaos said, it is a feeling of solitude, but the bottom right part reveals that it isnt quite so

Like LG, I'd like to see more of the ice, but you have conveyed the snow AND ice which is rather difficult.

You teach me about "light behind" and "light in front" views, the shadows from each and the tones that develop accordingly. The shadows lead away into that great expanse of snow releasing me to wander around at will.
